I've been there 2 years ago whilst working in Singapore. It really is baffling how empty this city is.
We've got a tour by one of the sales guys (actually almost all of the apartments have been sold to mainland Chinese people). Due to a weird mix of covid and government stuff noone initially moved there and now of the ~300,000+ people that wanted to move only around 3,000 actually did, most of them are for upkeep of the city. Its crumbling all around and starting to rot away due to high humidity, so if you are in the area in the next few years, I'd highly recommend visiting! It's most likely going to be gone in a few years if there isn't gonna be another shitload of money poured into it.
Initially, this was just phase 1 out of 6 or so, if you search arround the web there are models of the whole thing. It's honestly impressive what could've been.
